Not few people have commented on the
resemblance of Chief of Detectives Larry
Hazen to the pictures of President Cleve-
land. This led the Colonel TO remark yes
terday that he seriously contemplated pay
ing visit to Washington.

TO start back with him on his Western
trip. OF course he is liable to get tired
shaking hands with so many people. |
reckon I'd be a pretty good sub for the
night stations. The people wouldn't know
whether they'd shaken hands with Grover
Cleveland or Larry Hazen, and it would do
them just as much good. Grover and Iare
not much strangers. 1t met him when he
was Sheriff. | was going through Buffalo
with Dutch Heinrich, the snlartest bank

show. On one of my trips the town was
torn up over the visit of the Prince of
Wales The young blood went one day out
to the fair. You ought to have seen the
crowd Why the setni-circular place
where the people sat, was half mile in
length. There was a great space for the
people to promenade. The old Major had
charge of the
ROYAL NIBs' PARTY.
The Prince was then young man about
is years old, tall and straight as an arrow
with his head covered with blonde hair
There was an old gentleman a Big Wig in
his country, who was Kind O guardian for
the young fellow. Then there were two
detectives from Scotland Yards. He had
men to handle his trunks, men to do every
thing. During the show is 'Inhness as
they dubbed him, took promenade, and
pretty ones, too-how they watched the
young fellow as he passed between the two
lines. They would hand him their cards,
which he would accept with bow. He
looked nightly pleased. guess he thought
everything went and the Colonel chuckled
to himself
"Well, when we got through he had his
pockets sticking out with these cards. He
must have had half bushel. We drove to

up The thing | most noticed was a big
leather trunk which was filled with money
We stood around, talked and drank with
the gang and finally says | to Rawlins:
Major, s'pose we take the young fellow
for a run-show him the sights"
''The Major thought it was a good idea.
"'Just wait says l, and I'll fix it.
Tapping is 'lghness on the shoulder l

WALES, MY Boy

town, see the sightsf
""Hush, said he, the Governor will hear
you. I'd dearly like to go, you know, but
the Governor wouldn't hear of it.
"'Never you mind that, says / you just
go up and excuse yourself, and, mind you,
fill your pockets well out of that leather
trunk
HE excused himself and in minute or
two Rawlins and joined him in the hall
way. Soon, with Harrington and one or
two others, we were on the road, as merry
party as you ever saw. We first dropped
in at Looney's. Wales was recognized at
once, and all the girls crowded around
and wanted to dance with him We left
there and took In a few other places. Every
time the young fellow called for bottle he
would put his hand in his pocket like a
school-boy and pull out handful of money.

The old Governor was standing on his head.
He had sent TO headquarters and had them
out looking for Rawlins. Then they were
looking for me, knowing pretty well that
Rawlins would be pretty near were l was.
When | came In / told the old fellow not to
be uneasy, it would be all right. They sent
two officers to Shaw's Garden to look for
the gang, but they got drunk and upset the
wagon. Finally, about O'clock in the
morning, the Prince

Governor had just about concluded they
had kidnapped rs 'Ighness. and were on the
way to Indian Territory with him.

his head fell to one side, and in a minute you
couldn't have Weakened him with an earth

that happened that night which would make
him remember me- and the Colonel again
